Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The vehicle has stalled multiple times during a left turn. Apparently many of the 05 pacificas were recalled for this issue, but the Chrysler service said my vehicle was not under the recall even though it has the same issue under the recall. 06v432000. Since my VIN does not pull up the recall they will not cover fixing the vehicle, even though so many other cars were recalled in the same year for this dangerous issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10640726, filed 2014-10, 100,000 miles“Car stall when making sharp left hands turns. It has done this two consecutive days in a row.

NHTSA complaint #10668588, filed 2014-12, 95,000 miles“I have a 2005 chyrsler Pacifica. The gas pedal is sticking. It sticks hard enough that you have to forcefully push the accelerator peddle down. This causes unwanted rapid acceleration! The problem is getting worse in the past three weeks. The pedal has gotten stuck four times. I was backing out of a parking space and the car accelerated in reverse. Unsure, if my family car is safe, for my family.”
